Peninsula Programme

Stream's Peninsula programme seeks to respond to the diverse and separated spaces of the Greenwich peninsula area, to animate the physical landscape and to express the social landscape through collaboration, performance and the use of communication technologies and methodologies.

Greenwich Emotion Map
Christian Nold
Exploring the Peninsula through personal journeys, participants record their responses to the environment using biological tracking devices and digital tools to produce a new map of the area.

The map encourages personal reflection on the relationship between self, the environment and each other. It has been distributed widely across Greenwich and both nationally and internationally.

Peninsula Voices
Daniel Belasco Rogers / plan b
A sonic walk through the spaces of the Peninsula. Participants create audio recordings for audiences to listen to via location sensitive equipment as they walk.

The project brings to life stories that are written through the pavements, lurking on the street corners or echoing across the landscape.

A-X
gethyn&myles
A performative project which revealed the hidden poetry of the Peninsula and East Greenwich, giving voice to local people through dramatic and witty interventions in the urban landscape.

Artists gethan&myles talked to people of all ages. Their words - beautiful, sad, uplifting and funny - were displayed on solar powered dot-matrix LED road signs. The signs were installed at the East Greenwich Pleasaunce, East Greenwich Jetty and Central Park, performing in conversation with each other and those who encountered them.

Accidental Holiday
Lottie Child
A map, guided walk and suggested activities, inviting participants to engage with the area in playful ways, which call into question the increasing homogenisation of public space.

Through walks and outings on the Greenwich Peninsula and a range of classroom activities, the artist compiled a body of collaborative research, which was published as Accidental Holiday: a wildish guide to the Greenwich Peninsula

100 Cauliflowers
Kerry Morrison
A living public art project on the Greenwich Peninsula, created by artist Kerry Morrison in collaboration with local residents, schoolchildren and their families. The project recalls and reflects on the area's history of market gardening.

The artist researched environmental issues on the Peninsula, engaging with residents and experts in ecology, regeneration, agriculture, local history and weather systems, and created a public allotment in the shadow of the 02 in which to grow 100 cauliflowers.

NOW HEAR THIS
Holy Mountain
An audio project that aimed to gather, amplify and debate the issues of importance to people in East Creenwich, through exploring the art of conversation.

A combination of phoned dispatches, interviews, and one to one conversations at a special live event resulted in a piece of audio art made available as a podcast and CD.

In a League of Our Own
Jayne Murray
Focusing on social activities and spaces, the League aimed to bring together people living and working in the area through the activities they enjoy and the places they frequent.

Local residents and workers were invited to form teams and as in a sporting league, fixtures were held between different groups and places, culminating in a pub quiz.

Comwifinet
Engaging peninsula residents to communicate, learn and share information about their environment and community. Participants can explore the potential of new digital and online tools to facilitate local communication and exchange.

Gasworks to Dome
Rib Davis & Tom Keene
An interactive website project. The artists worked with participants to research and collect text, images and audio interviews which explore the history of East Greenwich and the Greenwich Peninsula within living memory.

They created a website which holds all of this data and which allows comments and new content to be added by remote viewers.
